Review: The Core
Ellie has been David Kelley's assistant and accountant for the past two years, yet barely knows him. After finding him covered in blood one morning, she decides to shadow him, to try to learn who he really is. When she finds him in her house, asking why she is following him, he is surprisingly not upset... instead, he seems to want Ellie to learn about him, inviting her into his secret world.
The Core is a very interesting book, a mixture of the magical and the mundane. There are enough twists that we are still learning about the characters at the end of the book... in fact, the characters are still learning about themselves. It's nice that Ellie is not a simpering heroine either, but in fact is strong enough to want to find the truth instead of just blindly going along with the crowd. All of the characters introduced have their own individual personalities and their own places in the plot, giving depth to a story that could be relatively simple otherwise. This story is more of an introduction, though, leading us to a spot where we know that events will be happening in the next book, without leaving us at a cliffhanger.
Overall, I'm happy with this book and plan to continue receiving the series.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
